This review is from: VisionTek Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 900202
Pros:
Where I bought mind is still less after tax than the lowest priced HD3870, think closer to HD3850 prices... Run GRID on High@1920x1200 AAx2 (35-40fps) smooth as glass, yeah not uber fast on Ultra like you would get on a HD4870, but for my budget it worked
Cons:
Takes up two slots and that's an issue with a HTPC type mATX board like the Gigabyte 690G I have. I had to remove one of my tuner cards in order to install it. Only to find GRID Demo 1.1 would crash to BSOD for some reason, only program or game that does it, deleted it
Overall Review:
Well this is going back to that local store (60 miles one way!) Glad I bought it locally so I can return it, no restocking fee. There's some use for B&M after all... I'm going to skip the 3000's all together now that the HD46xx cards will be here in about 15 days, going to upgrade the motherboard instead with the new 790GX chipset!
